About Me:
I am married with two teenage children. My life has been about as normal as one could ask for, with a few exceptions. I am a teacher and have experience as a teacher in the mental health field. I enjoy music, traveling and being with friends and family.
About my Loss:
My mother has been sick for a few years. She was not an invalid, but did at times have difficulties managing throughout the day. My father is very ill, and she was the caregiver to him. She died on June 15, 2008. Although she was in ailing health it was a surprise that she died before my father.

My birthday

I hated my birthdays after the age of 22. Honestly, I thought birthdays were for young people waiting to become teenagers, turn 16, 18 and 21. Over the years, I whined and at times cried on Feb. 23. I remember a couple birthdays my mom called me and I just said "uh, thanks, you know I don't really like celebrating my birthday." Wow, did those words come back to haunt me. Yesterday, the biggest voice of my life was unheard. No phone call from my mom. I did receive many calls, birthday wishes and… Continue

Thank you so much Cynthia. Your pics are uplifting. It is amazing how a stranger with a kind thought can make me smile.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind thoughts and wishes. I am leaving for the week from my dad's to go to my home and will return on Friday. I do not have the internet at my home only here. Have an awesome week as well, and live for each and every moment!!!!!!!

I wish we knew for sure what exactly happens after death. But in reality, all we have to go on is faith. No one knows for sure but I will tell you that I have found comfort in the fact that I believe my brother and my father attempted to contact me after their death. Do you trust your intuition? Do you listen to the voice within? I think we all should.
I wish I could reach through the computer screen and give you a hug. It is so hard, I know.

I'm kind of in the same boat, sort of. I take care of my grandmother, her husband (my grandfather) passed in 2001. It's been so hard because she has dementia and you just never know what to expect. I would love to have my own life but right now I feel consumed with her life. Anyway keep in touch and if you ever just want to talk, leave me a message.

I'm sorry for your loss. Feel free to post some pics and share some memories, I too have experienced loss and sometimes it just helps to share.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
